EX-99.1 2 a5179441ex991.txt EXHIBIT 99.1 Exhibit 99.1 Innovex Completes Sale of Metal Business MAPLE PLAIN, Minn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 28, 2006--Innovex (Nasdaq:INVX) announces the sale of the business, facility and assets of its etched metal component business to Tech-Etch, Inc. on June 27, 2006. The $5 million transaction will result in a net cash inflow of approximately $3 million, a $1.5 million reduction in outstanding debt and an approximate $2.7 million gain on the sale of the assets. In addition, Innovex will simultaneously complete the transfer of its prototyping operation from its Litchfield, Minnesota location to its Lamphun Thailand location. The combination of these actions will result in quarterly cost savings of $500,000 to $1 million or up to $4 million annually. The prototyping transfer will also result in a significant reduction in the time required to produce prototype products by eliminating the transit time between Minnesota and Thailand and establishing a cost effective Thailand operation functioning 24 hours a day. The Company expects to begin experiencing the benefits of this lower cost structure in the September 2006 quarter.
